High-entropy alloys can withstand extreme heat and stress, making them suitable for a variety of specific applications. A new study at the X-ray synchrotron radiation source BESSY II has now provided ...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs) are promising materials for catalysis and energy storage, and at the same time they are extremely hard, heat resistant and demonstrate great variability in their magnetic ...

(Nanowerk Spotlight) Liquid metals have long fascinated materials scientists due to their unique properties that bridge the gap between solid and liquid states of matter. These materials, which remain ...

High-entropy alloys (HEAs), which were first developed in 2004, are alloys made up of several primary elements in almost equiatomic proportions. They have exceptional features, including high strength ...

The process of alloying has been used by material engineers, particularly to impart useful specific properties to different materials. In the process of alloying, different materials in trace ...

The term “high entropy” refers to the fact that these alloys contain five or more elements in roughly equal amounts, resulting in a complex microstructure and high configurational entropy. This high ...

Recently, a research team from the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has developed a Pt-based high-entropy-alloy (HEA) catalyst that significantly ...

image: HIGH-TEMPERATURE SHOCK (HTS) FEATURES ULTRAFAST HEATING/COOLING RATE （＞10^5 K/S） AND IS SUITABLE FOR THE FABRICATION OF CATALYTIC HIGH-ENTROPY ALLOYS (HEA). WE PRESENT THE PHYSICOCHEMICAL ...

Engineers have spent decades trying to build metals that do not snap, melt, or grind away under extreme conditions, and for a ...
